ACWA SB 601 Coalition

SB 601 is intended to protect water quality in the face of retreating federal requirements; however, the bill goes far beyond simply returning to a previous level of protections. This bill would challenge the ability of local governments around the state to reliably and affordably deliver vital water, wastewater, and stormwater utilities to Californians. SB 601 would strain local resources and unnecessarily complicate California’s legal and regulatory framework for achieving water quality goals.
